To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ENMATSU M10, a sub ject of the Emperor ofJapa'n, and a resident adapt the pan to ing different lengths; the, pan being also of Salt Lake City in the county of Salt Lake) and State of Uta have invented a new and Improved Adjustable Bake-Pan, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descri tion. 7

T e urpose of this invention is to provide noveletalls of construction for a bake an to be used for baking bread, cakes iorthe like, which ermit the pan to be adjusted longitudina y for changing its length, and thus receive loaves of bread havavailable for baking. or roasting meat or poXltfruy of varying dimensions.

In the tubular formations c, c, of the bracket plates 9 and 10, on'each side wall 7 of the pan section -5, tubular guides such as small ipes 11, are inserted and secured, these tu )cs being extended around the end wall 8 of said pan section and secured thereon.

Upon the pan section 5 which slides in the section 5, wire slide rods 12 are mounted, preferably by flattening said rods where they have contact with the end wall 8 on the pan section 5, and securing said flattened portions 12 upon said end wall by means "of rivets e, as shown in Figs; 1 and 2. There are two of the wire slide rods 12 on each side wall 7 a of the pan section 5*, and these rods are so spaced in pairs as to be ada ted for free slidable en agement within t e open ends of the tubu ar guides 11.

A plurality of cli plates 13 are secured longitudinally on t e outer surface of the bottom wall 6 of the an section 5, and upon the end wall 8 of tffe other pan section 5 corresponding slide rods 14 are secured by one end, said rods working in tubular formations (1 in the clip plates 13.

It will be seen that the slide rods 12 and 14 stiffen the pan sections 5, 5 and render the pan very rigid at any point of sliding adjustment had. by the pan sections, and cause the free ends of the sides 7 on the section 5?, to closely bear on the inner surfaces of the corresponding side walls of the other section 5, so that there will be no leakage between the joint, and even thin batter for a cake will not escape where the pan sections have lapped connection.

Having thus described ,my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A pan com rising two half sections, one slidable within t e other, each section having one end wall, two longitudinally extended guide rods supported from the end wall of one section and spaced apart on each side wall thereof, a correspondin number of bracket plates on the other haf section and longitudinally disposed guide tubes mounted on the bracket ates, said tubes receivin the guide rods w en the pan sections are sli upon each other.

2. A pan, comprising two half sections, one slidable in the other, means for holding the upper side edges of the an sections loosely connected, means for s ldably interlocking the lower corners at the sides of the pan sections, and a guide-rod on one pan'sec tion at the lower side of its bottom, slidable in clip-plates on the bottom of the other pan section. V

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
